Nice job - very atmospheric. Could really do with an invert mouse option though - very frustrating when a puzzle needs quick reactions and I end up moving the wrong way.

"LD2202.exe has stopped working." on startup.
Reading back on the description I see now that you have some dependencies not included in the download. This is why I hate XNA.
hmm, XNA problems for me too, It says "no suitable graphics card found". Im using an intel graphics card on my laptop though, so that might have something to do with it.
@Falkreon:
Yeah I hate XNA for that reason too, I used it for this project since it's extremely fast to develop in.
@CplMustard:
I updated the game to Reach profile so that may help. Also if you have multiple graphics cards try starting it using the other one.
I was really impressed by this. Great job.
The Atmosphere reminded me of Portal and Cube (that awesome Canadian movie :D) Sadly is very short, this makes you want to play more. Great job!
Amazing atmosphere there, great job!
Nice, it's like the cube bits of portal just without the portals.
The lack of music and sterility of the visuals also work very much in it's favour and help set the mood appropriately.
Good job!
Impressive! I like how the instructions are written on the walls. Nice job with the fading in/out when holding R and a nice clean font. Did you write your own physics engine? If so, kudos!!! That's a difficult task to pull off in a weekend. Where's the cake? You should apply to Valve!
Glad you all liked it

No way I could write a physics engine in a weekend, so I used an open-source one called BEPU physics. There is no cake but there is a kitten hiding somewhere.
I love 3D logic based games and this one is really great!
You should keep working on this one ;)
Very simple mechanics, but reasonable little puzzles. It's very complete feeling, though maybe it's a bit too simple in the long run. As is the mechanics fit the length well.
Would be much less lonely if there was a sarcastic killing robot talking to you, or a cube with heart decals on it.
Very nice style, sound and pace. It's really a shame you didn't implement a more innovative gameplay. A bit more story would have been cool, too. ;)
Sadly this didn't run too well on my machine! I would've liked some graphics options.
